Album Info:
Creative Challenge - Sepia. I think it is a Dragon Fly anyway...but he managed to sit still long enough for me to capture him. The original Colour image is in my Wild & not so Wild life Album at the following http://outdoors.webshots.com/photo/21206 15990017373952YIdKRh?vhost=outdoors

With the thumbnail I thought your dof might be too narrow and that the head might be out of focus. Not the case at all, sharp and clear. You should really look at this in the full size. I wouldn't have ever converted a dragonfly to sepia, seems I'm going to have to! This is excellent.
